Sounds like good podcasts

99% of them are just people taking out of their ass though

oh yea, I've highly curated my podcasts at work. At least 80% scripted, roughly 20-80 minutes long, no, few, or unimportant visuals, detailed analysis of the topic, and maintains a sense of humor. I very rarely add a new one to the rotation

Care to share some recommendations? That sounds nice. I also struggle to get into podcasts cause its like wadding through a sea of garbage to find a lost ring.

I use the term podcast loosely, the only thing available to me at work is youtube so I also tend to include video essays and other things not considered podcasts. This is a list of some of my favorites.

  • Some More News
  • Unfuck the Republic (unftr)
  • Behind the Bastards
  • Democracy at Work
  • the Deprogram
  • Philosophy Tube
  • Climate Town
  • the Michael Parenti Library (speech archive channel)
  • the Afromarxist (black radical archive channel)
  • Alexander Avila

How dare you call out cumtown like that

Also everyone please check out Search Engine, Behind the Bastards, Darknet Diaries, and Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History.

Quick edit; I’ll always love cumtown also
